    I'm 5'7 and originally set a goal weight of 130 lbs. I am there and now focusing on making my body look bangin' rather than focusing on some number on the scale.

    My ultimate goal is 5'10" or 5'11". So far the measuring tape hasn't budged. Any tips??

    YOGA! It will stretch you out!

    5'6.5'', and currently 119, with a somewhat large frame. I want to gain muscle, and am fine with weighing 125-130 because of it.

    I'm 5'7 also. I was happy at 155 which I got down to 5 yrs ago. Now of course I'm back up. Thats my goal weight for now though.

    I'm 5'7. My goal is anywhere between 115-125. I wouldn't want to be any lighter than 115 at the very lowest.

    I am 5'7" and I have swung between 155-175 since I graduate college in '08. I have an athletic build and I tend to carry more weight than most people guess, believe it or not I was a dance major at 145-155. I am at 166 right now with an immediate goal of 150, if I can maintain that for 6 mos I would like to possibly get down to 145 but can't see getting below that and maintaining the lifestyle that I prefer. I am more concerned with slimming down and droppping sizes than my actual weight.

    I'm 5-7 with a medium to large frame and my goal is 140-145 - still have quite a ways to go even though it's slowly coming off. :/

    I'm 118 currently, my ultimate goal is to reduce body fat and increase muscle.. whether that means weighing more or less. I have a pretty small frame such that if I'm at 130 (135 was my highest weight) I look very pudgy. I found I looked best at my lowest weight, 110... but that was with no weight training.

    I'm 5'7" and 49 years old. In January 2011, I weighed 200, tracked calories on another site down to 165 and held there until now, more or less (tend to gain a little in the summers and around the holidays, then track for a few weeks to get it back off).

    I'm at 167 right now, with a goal of 150 or so. I've been a lot happier at 165-170 than I ever was at 200, but now want to see if losing more weight will (a) improve my running from slower-than-molasses-in-January to maybe about-as-slow-as-molasses-on-a-nice-spring-day and (b) reduce my belly fat.

    Excellent question..my first goal was 150 lbs, but when I talked to a trainer at the beginning of the year I was told my Body fat was 30% even though I've lost over 20 lbs and I am a size 8. Now I think I should be between 135-140 with more muscle, but don't know when I will get there!!

    I am 5'7, small frame and I've had two kids.

    I am currently aiming for 135 lbs but I am building muscle not just losing fat.

    I'm 5'7" with a medium to large frame. I started at 216, and I'm 209 right now. I would like to get down to 155-160. I remember being that size, and not liking how I looked, because I just wasn't fit. This time, I hope to make that weight look better by working out and getting lean.

    I'm at my heaviest weight right now (160). NOT happy about it, but you know: new house, getting engaged, living together and eating everything...it takes a toll. My best weight was 125, and I'd kill to get back there. I'll take 135, which is my current goal, and hope I can reach it for my wedding this August. Good luck to you!

    I'm 5'7" with a medium frame, and I'm bottom heavy. I always have a tiny waist and thinner arms, then I get hips and thighs out of nowhere.

    My ultimate goal weight is 135, but I've never been there (except, I guess, on the way up). I'm currently pregnant, but before getting pregnant, I'd lost 82 lbs and hit 153.8. For some reason I can never break the 150 barrier. Once I start MFP over again postpartum, I plan on doing lots of strength work as well, and I'd be pretty happy at 150 (or close to it) if I looked toned/muscular. At 153.8 I was solidly in a size 6 (US) and a size 4 in some stores but was kind of skinny fat. I worked out a lot and did gain leg muscle (mainly from running and Spinning), but it was all cardio, so I was sort of flabby, not counting my gain in leg muscle.

    ETA that I'm 32 with a 2-year-old and 23 weeks pregnant.
